Structure
A limited liability company (S.r.l.), or another form suited to the activity, held by individuals or by a foreign company.
Incorporation
Coordination with the notary, tax code, VAT number, certified email (PEC) and registration with the Companies Register, remotely where the notary allows.
Registered office and compliance
Registered office in Milan at the firm’s premises, bookkeeping, financial statements and tax returns, with a single point of contact.
What it is for
For those with no presence in Italy who want to start a business there with a single point of contact: from the choice of structure to incorporation and recurring compliance. As a rule, a shareholder or director resident in Italy is not required; for non-EU shareholders, documentation and checks are verified with the notary. Fictional example: a company based in another country wants to set up an Italian subsidiary to operate in the Italian market and has no office in Italy. To incorporate a company without international aspects, see the solution establishment and startup; after launch, you will need tax and accounting and, over time, ongoing counseling.

Frequently asked questions
Is a shareholder or director resident in Italy required?
As a rule, no. For non-EU shareholders, the necessary documentation and anti-money-laundering checks are verified with the notary. The firm coordinates the process.
Can incorporation take place remotely?
In many cases, yes, depending on the notary’s identification and anti-money-laundering checks and on the foreign documentation required; this is assessed case by case.
What does the registered office in Milan include?
A registered office address in Milan at the firm’s premises, usable for registration with the Companies Register. The content and conditions of the service are agreed in writing.
Can the company carry out any activity?
Some activities, such as legal assistance, are reserved to authorised professionals and must be distinguished in the corporate purpose. The firm takes this into account during the analysis.
